WHO hosts webinar on safe systems

Bloomberg Initiative for Global Road Safety, Legal Development Programme

WEBINAR: THE SAFE SYSTEMS APPROACH

A holistic approach to protect road users from death and serious injury by taking human error and frailty into account. The Safe Systems Approach acknowledges that humans will make mistakes on the road, but the price they pay for this mistake should not be death or serious injury. Adopting such an approach requires working at different levels including: institutional management, roads infrastructure, safe vehicles, and user behaviour.
